Party Planning

THE PARTY More than 1,500 friends and supporters of Planned Parenthood turned out for the 50th anniversary celebration of the institution’s Pacific Southwest chapter. THE SCENE Drawn outside by the sun setting over a sparkling bay, guests mingled on the Hilton Bayfront terrace and then kept conversation going over a sit-down dinner. The soundtrack? 1960s Motown, befitting a night honoring the iconic organization’s past, present and future. THE HIGHLIGHTS Three generations of feminist speakers put the milestone event into historical context. Inspired, guests raised $100,000, doubling a $50,000 matching gift donation by The Strauss Family Foundation. Photography by Tim King
